Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) Beyond the Year 2000
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to project those video or picture based Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems likely to enter military inventories and alter mission planning in the year 2000 and beyond. Therefore, this paper avoids a discussion of specific technical approaches and their relative merits that often leads into proprietary or classified discussions. An emphasis is place on the attributes of ATR as a military product and the factors that will determine the success or failure of efforts to move them in large quantities into military inventories. Some suggestions will be given on how the time to market can be shortened and where video ATR systems will first appear on the post cold war battlefield.
